Studio Buzao

Born: 2017

Hometown: Guangzhou

Based in: Guangzhou

BUZAO is a young experimental brand founded in Guangzhou, China in 2017, focusing on experimental furniture design.The word "buzao" of its name means "I don't know" in Chinese, a reflection of the studio's interest in experimentation in unexpected materials and processes, often with unforeseeable results. The studio's philosophy emphasizes the interplay between shapes, light, and environment, challenging the definition of product design by infusing their methods with the uncertainty of the artistic process. Their interest is in unusual materials, placing equal weight on both the raw and processed. New applications of materials that already exist in the natural environment or in certain industries creates an ever evolving body of work with each new discovery.
